Coenocytic means _______
  • a)
    sharing of common cytoplasm
  • b)
    removal of plasma membrane
  • c)
    sharing of common nucleus
  • d)
    sharing of common hyphael wall
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Srestha Bose answered
Coenocytic means sharing of common cytoplasm. This term is commonly used to describe a type of cell or organism that does not have distinct cell boundaries or compartments. Instead, coenocytic cells contain multiple nuclei within a single, continuous cytoplasmic mass.

Explanation:
Coenocytic cells are typically found in fungi, algae, and some types of plants. In these organisms, individual cells may fuse together during development to form a single, multinucleate cell. This single cell may then develop into a larger structure or organism, such as a fungus or alga.

Some key characteristics of coenocytic cells include:

- Lack of cell walls: Coenocytic cells do not have distinct cell walls separating them from neighboring cells. Instead, they are connected by a network of cytoplasmic strands.
- Multiple nuclei: Because coenocytic cells contain multiple nuclei within a single cytoplasmic mass, they are often referred to as multinucleate.
- Large size: Without the constraints of cell walls, coenocytic cells can grow to very large sizes. Some fungi, for example, can form structures that are many meters in length.

Overall, the term "coenocytic" refers to a unique type of cell organization that is characterized by the sharing of cytoplasmic material between multiple nuclei.

Which among the following are incorrect about Phycomycetes?
  • a)
    Phycomycetes are aseptate fungi and are coenocytic
  • b)
    Phycomycetes are also called as algal fungi
  • c)
    Zygospores are formed due to isogamous fertilization and zoospores are formed due to anisogamous fertilization
  • d)
    Phycomycetes are also called as conjugation fungi
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Geetika Shah answered
Zygospores are formed either due to isogamous or anisogamous fertilization. Zoospores and aplanospores are motile and non-motile spores produced due to asexual mode respectively. Phycomycetes are aseptate fungi and are coenocytic. Phycomycetes are also called as algal fungi or conjugation fungi.

A ball is rolled off the edge of a horizontal table at a speed of 4 m/second.  It hits the ground after 0.4 second.  Which statement given below is true.
  • a)
    It hits the ground at a horizontal distance 1.6 m from the edge of the table.
  • b)
    The speed with which it hits the ground is 4.0 m/second.
  • c)
    Height of the table is 0.8 m.
  • d)
    It hits the ground at an angle of 60o to the horizontal.
Correct answer is option 'A,C'. Can you explain this answer?

Tejas Verma answered
Vertical component of velocity of ball at point P
Horizontal component of velocity = initial velocity 


So the speed with which it hits the ground,
and 
⇒ θ = 45º 
It means the ball hits the ground at an angle of 45 to the horizontal.
Height of the table
Horizontal distance travelled by the ball from the edge of table, h = ut = 4 × 0.4 = 1.6 m
 

Which of the following statements is false for a particle moving in a circle with a constant angular speed?
  • a)
     The acceleration vector points to the centre of the circle.
  • b)
     The acceleration vector is tangent to the circle.
  • c)
    The velocity vector is tangent to the circle.
  • d)
    The velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendiculai to each other.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Nandini Iyer answered
In circular motion we know the velocity vector is tangent to the circle. If a particle moves in a circle with constant angular speed it perform uniform circular motion. In uniform circular motion the tangential acceleration of the particle is zero. The particle moves under radial acceleration only which points to the centre of the circle. Hence the velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular to each other.

What are the three main steps involved in the sexual cycle in sequence?
  • a)
    Karyoogamy→ Plasmogamy→ Meiosis
  • b)
    Plasmogamy→ Meiosis → Karyogamy
  • c)
    Plasmogamy→ Karyogamy → Meiosis
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Advait Das answered
Understanding the Sexual Cycle
The sexual cycle involves a series of events that lead to reproduction, particularly in fungi and certain plants. The correct sequence is Plasmogamy, Karyogamy, and Meiosis.
1. Plasmogamy
- This is the first step where the cytoplasm of two compatible mating types fuse together.
- Plasmogamy results in the formation of a dikaryotic cell, meaning it has two distinct nuclei from each parent.
2. Karyogamy
- Following plasmogamy, karyogamy occurs, which is the fusion of the two nuclei to form a diploid nucleus.
- This step is crucial as it combines genetic material from both parents, leading to genetic variation in the offspring.
3. Meiosis
- The final step is meiosis, where the diploid nucleus undergoes division to produce haploid spores.
- These spores can then germinate and develop into new organisms, completing the sexual cycle.
Conclusion
In summary, the sexual cycle progresses in a specific order:
- Plasmogamy initiates the process by fusing the cytoplasm.
- Karyogamy follows, leading to the fusion of nuclei.
- Meiosis concludes the cycle by producing haploid spores.
This sequence (Plasmogamy → Karyogamy → Meiosis) is essential for genetic diversity and the continuation of species. Understanding these steps is critical for topics related to reproduction and genetics, especially in the context of NEET preparation.

Assertion(A): Deuteromycetes are called imperfect fungi.
Reason(R):  These fungi have  autotrophic mode  of nutrition .
  • a)
    Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
  • b)
    Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  • c)
     (A) is true, but (R) is false.
  • d)
    (A) is false, but (R) is true.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Bs Academy answered
- Deuteromycetes are indeed called "imperfect fungi" because only the asexual or vegetative phases of these fungi are known. When the sexual forms of these fungi were discovered they were moved into classes they rightly belong to. It is also possible that the asexual and vegetative stage have been given one name (and placed under deuteromycetes) and the sexual stage another (and placed under another class)
- However, the reason given in the statement that these fungi have an autotrophic mode of nutrition is incorrect. Deuteromycetes are actually heterotrophic, not autotrophic.
- Therefore, the correct answer is: C: (A) is true, but (R) is false.

A ‘dikaryon’ stage is seen in the members of:
  • a)
    . Ascomycetes and Phycomycetes
  • b)
    Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes
  • c)
    Basidiomycetes and Phycomycetes
  • d)
    Basidiomycetes and Deuteromycetes
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev NEET answered
When a fungus reproduces sexually, two haploid hyphae of compatible mating types come together and fuse. In some fungi the fusion of two haploid cells immediately results in diploid cells (2n). However, in other fungi (ascomycetes and basidiomycetes), an intervening dikaryotic stage (n + n, i.e., two nuclei per cell) occurs; such a condition is called a dikaryon and the phase is called dikaryophase of fungus

Identify the incorrect statement about the diagram of the fungi given below -
  • a)
    The asexual spores are conidia produced exogenously on the special mycelium called conidiophores
  • b)
    Sexual spores are called ascospores
  • c)
    Fruiting bodies are called ascocarps.
  • d)
    Fruiting bodies called ascospores.
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Bs Academy answered
Figure mentioned in the question is aspergillus which belong to class ascomycetes.
The asexual spores are conidia produced exogenously on the special mycelium called conidiophores. Conidia on germination produce mycelium. Sexual spores are called ascospores which are produced endogenously in sac like asci (singular ascus). These asci are arranged in different types of fruiting bodies called ascocarps. Some examples are Aspergillus, Claviceps and Neurospora.

What is the term for the long, slender thread-like structures that make up the body of fungi?
  • a)
    Spores
  • b)
    Hyphae
  • c)
    Mycorrhizae
  • d)
    Stolons
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

fungi are filamentous. Their bodies consist of long, slender thread-like structures called hyphae. The network of hyphae is known as mycelium. Some hyphae are continuous tubes filled with multinucleated cytoplasm – these are called coenocytic hyphae. Others have septae or cross walls in their hyphae. The cell walls of fungi are composed of chitin and polysaccharides.

Which of the following is not true regarding the reproduction and life cycle of basidiomycetes?
  • a)
    Basidiomycetes reproduce asexually through the formation of basidiospores.
  • b)
    The sex organs are absent in basidiomycetes.
  • c)
    Plasmogamy is brought about by the fusion of two vegetative or somatic cells.
  • d)
    Basidia are arranged in fruiting bodies called basidiocarps.
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev NEET answered
a) Basidiomycetes reproduce asexually through the formation of basidiospores.
This statement is not true because basidiomycetes primarily reproduce sexually through the formation of basidiospores, which are produced on basidia after plasmogamy and karyogamy. Asexual reproduction is not the primary mode of reproduction in basidiomycetes, though some may produce conidia or other forms of asexual spores in certain circumstances.
The other statements are true:
  • b) The sex organs are absent in basidiomycetes. This is true because basidiomycetes do not have distinct male and female sex organs. Sexual reproduction occurs through the fusion of specialized sexual cells.
  • c) Plasmogamy is brought about by the fusion of two vegetative or somatic cells. This is true. Plasmogamy involves the fusion of two somatic cells, leading to the formation of a dikaryotic mycelium in basidiomycetes.
  • d) Basidia are arranged in fruiting bodies called basidiocarps. This is true. Basidia, which produce basidiospores, are typically found in fruiting bodies known as basidiocarps.
 
Topic in NCERT: Fungal Reproduction
 
Line in NCERT: "The sex organs are absent, but plasmogamy is brought about by fusion of two vegetative or somatic cells of different strains or genotypes."
 

Which of the following species is isoelectronic with CO?
  • a)
    HF
